After beginning its three-weekend run last week, the Community Theatre League’s presentation of Jonathan Larson’s groundbreaking rock musical “Rent” will continue with 7:30 p.m. showings tonight through Saturday and Feb. 20-23, according to a press release.

“Rent” invites audiences to experience the raw emotion and exhilarating energy of Larson’s iconic rock musical that forever changed Broadway. A story of love, loss and the pursuit of artistic dreams, the show follows a group of struggling young artists navigating life in New York’s East Village during the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis.

This Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical continues to inspire audiences with its timeless message of resilience, found family and living for today. Thirty years after its premiere, the musical’s themes of love, loss and fighting for survival remain as relevant as ever.

With a cast of powerhouse performers and a score that pulses with life, this production is not just a show — it’s an experience, the press release said.

“‘Rent’ is more than just a musical; it’s a movement. It’s about fighting for what matters, embracing love in all its forms, and refusing to let fear define us,” said Seth Sponhouse, CTL’s executive artistic director and director of ‘Rent.’ “We are honored to bring this powerful show to our stage and share its urgent, unforgettable message with our community.”

Leading the cast are Timothy Hippensteel (Roger Davis), Seth Confer (Mark Cohen), Camden Hare (Tom Collins), Maxwell Theiss (Benjamin Coffin III), Marisa Sponhouse (Joanne Jefferson), Malachi Watson (Angel Schunard), Rubie Natal (Mimi Márquez) and Brandy Aguirre (Maureen Johnson). They are joined by a talented ensemble and pit singers who bring Larson’s unforgettable score to vibrant life.

Marisa Sorrentino Hickey, the production’s music director, said, “Jonathan Larson’s music is powerful, emotional and demands everything from its performers. This cast has embraced the challenge, pouring their hearts into every note and every lyric to create something truly unforgettable.”
